Keyboard Acceleration

TEA is optimized for working quickly with keyboard and keyboard triggers.

Very important is the unique short key name for a template:

A template can be triggered from inside TEA (focus in mail-previewer) or after pressing the Windows Hotkey (Ctrl-F9) anywhere in Windows by typing the beginning letters of the short name. Example:

d e f

triggers the template with short name default for execution. In case of a hotkey trigger (Ctrl-F9 anywhere in Windows), the templates text body is copied to the clipboard.

Advanced: Hierarchical short names / "groups": Special short names can be constructed by using the / slash character. Example short name:

ebay/payment/1st

Such template can be hot-key triggered for execution by the sequence:

e SPACE p

The SPACE selects the next possible slash (/) separated sub group(s) for auto-completion. Thus the slash in key names enables to access kind of "sub-folders" of templates.

Triggering the Template Editor: A leading TAB triggers the template editor, not the template execution or template body copy. Example:

TAB e SPACE p (triggers editor - not execution)

triggers the template editor for the ebay/payment/1st template.
